Watts Fest began about 10 years ago as a bit of fun; it was a chance for lots of people to have a great time, & listen to some top live music in Sunny Devon.

This was a very select little Festival set in the rolling countryside in beautiful Devon. The event originally was on a Saturday late in the Festi’ season for a close set of friends from the industry to get together & let their hair down. This year WATTSFEST, promises to be the best yet. It will run for from Friday 22nd June until Sunday 24th. Although it runs alongside Glasto’ we envisage plenty of people coming along & still having a ball as many were unable to get tickets.

keyboards old and new.
